Once
  the   state   of   charge   of   the   battery   drops  
t

o   the   reserve   level,   the   system   switches   to

Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has a  special   code.   When   the   ignition   is   switched

This
  electronic   engine   immobiliser   locks   the

Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-slip regulation (also known as Traction Control)   optimises   traction   to   prevent   skidding o

f   the   wheels,   by   acting   on   the   brakes   of   the
 d

riving   wheels   and   on   the   engine.
The
  electronic   stability   programme   acts   on   the
 b

rake   of   one   or   more   wheels   and   on   the   engine
 t

o   keep   the   vehicle   on   the   trajectory   required   by
 t

he   driver,   within   the   limits   of   the   laws   of   physics.
This
  is   indicated   by   flashing   of   this  
w

arning   lamp   in   the   instrument   panel. The
  ASR /ESP   systems   offer  
e

xceptional   safety   in   normal   driving,   but  
t

his   should   not   encourage   the   driver   to  
t

ake   extra   risks   or   drive   at   high   speed.
The
  correct   functioning   of   these  
s

ystems   depends   on   observation   of

P systems.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle which   is   bogged   down,   stuck   in   snow,   on   soft  
g

round,   ...),   it   may   be   advisable   to   deactivate  
t
